A young royal from the far north is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully. Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for.

She's a northern daughter in a mage-made summer exile, but she will bend history to her will and bring down her enemies, piece by piece.

My best friend is hiding something from me. October, 1970. Two years ago, Leigh Austen had it all: a loving husband, a healthy social life and a comfortable home. Until a telegram from the U.S. Military shattered her heart into pieces. When it’s time to move forward, she needs help from the one man she knows she can trust: Michael Kelly, her best friend and owner of the most popular Irish pub in South Boston. But mysterious deaths have the whole city spooked, and rumors of strange happenings surround the Mannock Tavern. Not to mention the patrons seem a little intense. Leigh, dating? Absolutely not. I’ll kill any man who tries to touch her. Michael is done with war. He’s fought in too many already. Besides, he has a promise to keep and an order to lead in the shadows of Boston. He doesn’t expect his best friend’s widow in his tavern on the most spiritual night of the year. Hiding the truth from Leigh is practically impossible. When she uncovers the inevitable, he knows it’s only a matter of time before she discovers his real secret . . . Vampires. Irish vampires, no less. How can such a thing be possible?

But where there is a king, there are those who seek his crown. And falling for Michael may cost Leigh more than her life . . .
